Zardari condemns Momand Agency mosque attack

Islamabad September 16: former President Asif Ali Zardari has denounced the suicide attack in a mosque in Momand Agency today during Friday prayers resulting in martyrdom of nearly two dozen innocent people and injuries to many more.

Condemning the attack on a mosque and martyring worshippers as “most barbaric and cowardly” the former President said that the terrorists were on the run and in utter desperation were targeting unsuspecting soft targets to create panic.

The terrorists do not realize that Pakistanis are a brave and resilient people and are united in fighting the militants to the finish, he said.

The former President also prayed for the victims, expressed sympathies with their families and prayed for early recovery of those injured.
